Product Description

Product Description

nigel bird was the co-editor of 'the Rue Bella' magazine between 1998 and 2003. During that time, the magazine gained a reputation for being at the cutting edge of the poetry world. Not only did it feature the work of some of the worlds finest poets, but it provided a window for the words of a huge number of fledgling talents.

bird himself went on to become a prize-winner in the Academi poetry competition and his work appeared alongside one of his favourites, Seamus Heaney, in the Reader Magazine in 2009.

This is a collection of poems for children, written to inspire a new generation of poets with playful use of words that could leave you tickled pink.

'Literature needs more people like you' - John Martin, Black Sparrow Press

Will put a smile on your face 28 Mar 2012
By M. A. Archibald - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
What an enjoyable read. I had forgotten that feeling when sweaters and things were tight and someone had to pluck them off your head for you in childhood. This book exalts that moment in a wonderful, fun and clear voice.

Simple poetry for young children 21 April 2012
By Katie's Mum - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm Mum to two children, aged 5 and 8. They are both poetry mad, so I picked this up on a freeload. The verdict was that this was okay poetry but was rather simple and not anyone in our family's thing. The meter is basic - may be suitable for five and six year olds as an introduction to poetry. Vocabulary is quite simple. It's certainly not deep stuff!

Worth a look if you want to get a youngster started on poetry.
